AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1239 PM EST THU DEC 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM ALABAMA THIS MORNING TO THE
CAROLINAS THIS EVENING...THEN NORTHEAST TO NEAR LONG ISLAND FRIDAY
MORNING.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN OVER THE WEEKEND AND
LINGER OVER THE CAROLINAS THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LARGE AREA OF STRATIFORM RAIN PERSISTS OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING
WITHIN LARGE-SCALE WARM CONVEYOR BELT IN ADVANCE OF HIGHLY DEVELOPED
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THERE IS A MYRIAD OF WEATHER CONCERNS THIS
AFTERNOON AS THIS SITUATION CONTINUES TO EVOLVE. THE MOST IMMEDIATE
CONCERN IS THE NARROW LINE OF CONVECTION THAT IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING
THE SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY ATTM. THE MAIN THREAT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
FEATURE SHOULD BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN
ANY RECENT REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ACTIVITY...
BUT AS IT CONTINUES TO DEEPEN IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING DEWPOINTS/
WEAKLY DESTABILIZING ATM...IT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TAP INTO A
50-60 KT LOW LEVEL JET AND POSSIBLY MIX THOSE WINDS TO THE SURFACE.
A SEVERE TSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS
POTENTIAL. AS TIME WEARS ON...THE THREAT SHOULD EVOLVE INTO MORE OF
A QLCS (BROKEN-S) TORNADO POTENTIAL...AND SPC PLANS ON ISSUING A
TORNADO WATCH EAST OF THE SEVERE WATCH SOON.

OTHER THREATS INCLUDE FLOODING...AND THIS IS ALREADY WELL-HANDLED
WITH A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. HOWEVER...THE BEST CHANCE
FOR FLOODING WILL EXIST ALONG/SOUTH OF I-85...WHERE THE COMBINATION
OF FAVORABLE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS AND CHANCES FOR VIGOROUS
CONVECTION COEXIST. FINALLY...THERE IS A SLIGHT POTENTIAL FOR STRONG
GRADIENT WINDS...AS WAS SEEN ACROSS WEST CENTRAL GA EARLIER THIS
MORNING. ALTHOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT A SPECIFIC REASON FOR
THIS WITH ANY CERTAINTY...THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN CERTAINLY FAVORS
PROPAGATING GRAVITY WAVES (CUT-OFF LOW/UNBALANCED UPPER JET).
HOWEVER...THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT LOW-LEVEL INVERSION
THAT WOULD FAVOR WAVE DUCTING. WE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THIS
POTENTIAL AS OF YET...BUT IT/S CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE
ON.

A DRY SLOT FOLLOWS THE MOIST PLUME AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT TRAILING
THE WAVE...BUT ADDITIONAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW
WILL KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. NORTHWEST FLOW WILL SET UP IN THE
MOUNTAINS...THIS EVENING ...WITH SNOW LEVELS DROPPING TO 2000 FEET
BY MORNING. AT THIS TIME ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED
ALONG THE TN BORDER...BUT WITH MOST OF IT LATE IN THE SECOND
PERIOD...AND THE MODELS TRENDING A BIT WARMER WITH EACH RUN...THE
DECISION ON ISSUING AN ADVISORY WILL BE LEFT TO THE DAY SHIFT.
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN RECENTLY...BUT STILL
SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN PREVIOUS GUIDANCE HAS INDICATED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 215 AM THURSDAY...OPERATIONAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...AND I HAVE MAINLY FAVORED A SREF/GFS BLEND
FOR THE DETAILS. FRIDAY WILL BE A BIT OF A TRANSITIONAL DAY AS A
SHORTWAVE EXITS TO THE NORTHEAST AND GETS ABSORBED INTO THE LONGWAVE
TROF. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE AND CHANNELED VORT ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS FRIDAY NIGHT FROM THE WEST.
BEHIND THIS TROF...SOME SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL RIPPLE ACROSS AND THE
UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME QUASI ZONAL. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FRIDAY NIGHT...TRANSLATING ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. A DRY SURFACE RIDGE WILL
THEN SETUP SHOP OVER THE FA THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

I HAVE REMOVED THE SLT CHANCE POPS OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS FOR
THE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS IT LOOKS LIKE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL DRY UP RAPIDLY IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE LOW.
HOWEVER...BASED ON THE GFS/SREF/ECMWF...I WILL INTRODUCE SOME LOW
END CHC TO SLT CHC POPS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT ALONG THE TN STATE LINE
DUE TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF UPSLOPE FLOW. A DECENT SHOT OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL IMPINGE ON THE WINDWARD SLOPES AFTER 00Z SATURDAY AND
THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH UPSLOPE FLOW IN ADVANCE OF THE BUILDING
SURFACE HIGH TO SUPPORT SNOW SHOWER DEVELOPMENT. H85 TEMPS FALL TO
AROUND -9C BY 06Z...BUT EXPECT UPSLOPE FLOW AND MOISTURE TO DECREASE
ABRUPTLY BY SATURDAY MORNING. OVERALL...ISOLATED LOCATIONS IN THE
FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS COULD SEE HALF OF AN INCH TO AN INCH OF
SNOW BY SATURDAY MORNING. REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST IS DRY AS THE
SURFACE HIGH TAKES CONTROL. TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE COOL...ROUGHLY 5
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WITH STRONG CAA ON
FRIDAY AND SUB 1300 DM 1000-850 MB THICKNESSES ON SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM THURSDAY...THE EXTENDED PERIOD SHOULD SEE THE UPPER AIR
PATTERN TRANSITION FROM A RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. TO GENERALLY
ZONAL FLOW BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BUT GRADUALLY GIVE
WAY TO AN APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE WED TIMEFRAME. FETCH
OFF THE ATLANTIC ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE HIGH WILL ADVECT
INCREASING LEVELS OF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION WITH SOME LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS POSSIBLY DEVELOPING IN THE FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS MON AND
TUE. AS THE FRONT ENCROACHES ON THE AREA DURING WED MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA WILL SEE A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS WITH THE HIGHEST
POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS. WITH GENERALLY A ZONAL FLOW ALOFT
ANTICIPATED...THE FRONT SHOULD BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY SOMEWHERE
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK.
THEREFORE...WILL NEED TO RETAIN CHANCE POPS INTO LATE WEEK.

THIS SCENARIO STAYS CLOSE TO THE HPC SOLUTION WHICH FAVORED THE
ECM/ECM ENSEMBLE. THE GFS SOLUTION DIFFERS LATE NEXT WEEK IN MOVING
THE FRONT THROUGH AS A COLD FRONT...WHICH SEEMS DOUBTFUL CONSIDERING
A NEAR ZONAL UPPER AIR PATTERN. EXPECT PRECIP TO REMAIN ALL
LIQUID...EVEN IN THE MOUNTAINS AS EXPECT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR A
LARGE DIURNAL TEMP RANGE WITH CLOUD COVER. DID MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS
TO HPC MIN TEMPS TO KEEP TEMPS IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE FREEZING.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
KCLT WILL CONTINUE TO SEE IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...
WITH ONLY GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT IN CIGS. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF LULL IN
PRECIP DURING THE FIRST HOUR OR SO OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...BUT
ANOTHER SWATH OF MOD-HEAVY RAIN...PRODUCING PERIODS OF IFR VISBY AND
POSSIBLY A TS OR TWO...WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FIELD BY 19-20Z. EVENING
SHOULD BRING AN END TO WIDESPREAD PRECIP...AND ATTENDANT IMPROVEMENT
TO MVFR CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...LINGERING SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT. WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY BECOME MORE
SOUTHERLY THIS AFTERNOON...BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST
OVERNIGHT.

ELSEWHERE...THE BACK EDGE OF PRECIP WILL MOVE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE NC
MTNS/WESTERN UPSTATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO
MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED BY THIS EVENING. LINGERING SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...AS A STRONG AREA OF UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE BEST CHANCE FOR OVERNIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY
WILL BE AT KAVL. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY MORNING...WITH
GUSTS IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH
THE END OF THE PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP BY FRI MORNING AND CONTINUE
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
